Labeled Version

This movie shows a labeled transverse MRI scan (cranial caudal) through a Kyoto embryo (stage 23, week 8) facing upward. This labelled version of the movie above shows some of the major structures and organs. Note the relationship of different structures as the movie passes through the embryo.

This is the last stage of embryonic development and some anatomic changes will next occur during the fetal period.
